Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Gas Hoses

Can you use any hose for gas?

The type of gas hose you need to use depends on the type of gas you are attempting to divert. Natural gas hoses cannot be used to propane, because these gasses have different chemical properties. Propane requires a propane gas hose, and vice versa. Some types of gas hose can be used for multiple gas types, such as a hose that is intended for either natural or LPG.

How long can a gas hose be?

Gas hoses have specific length requirements, and it's essential that all establishments have a gas hose that conforms to these lengths. LPG gas hoses, for example, have a maximum length of around 1.5m to ensure a lowered risk of accidents. Always check the requirements for length and material when purchasing and installing a gas hose.

How do I choose a gas hose?

Choosing a gas hose requires you to look at diameter, length, and material. A shorter length helps avoid low pressure, while a hose that's too short can lead to too high pressure. The inside diameter of the hose also impacts pressure, with a larger diameter avoiding high pressure - but also impacting flow speed. The material must be chemically compatible for the gas type, as well as resistant to exterior conditions and either flexible or rigid enough to fit the intended application.

What's the difference between a natural gas and LPG gas hose?

LPG hoses can be used for both natural and LPG, but a gas hose for natural gas cannot be used for LPG. Natural gas hoses are built for low pressure, as it is lighter than LPG.
